2000 Silverado service engine soon light comes on at 3/4 tank Sign In

I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado with a V-8 (not sure which size)
When the gas tank gets to 3/4 the service engine soon light comes on. The code has something to do with the fuel system.
I put on a new gas cap and had the light reset, but still have the problem. Any ideas?

That is a generic code for the EVAP emission system. That is the system that monitors and captures fuel vapors from the tank. That specific code is generic and there will likely be a more specific factory code stored there also but it may take a professional scan tool to access it. It will definitely take one to diagnose it along with a smoke machine. This code will have absolutely no effect on the way the vehicle runs. It's emissions only
